It might speed things up if you were to take some reasonably high quality photos at different places, but mostly showing the frame and drive arrangement, load them in to photobucket for free after you register there, and then provide the img tagged links that will actually allow the server here to show us your images.
I suggest this because you mention that you think it is a LL clone frame and drive, but if there is some odd little thing that makes the experts wanting to reply here shake their heads, it would be good for them to see it now before you find yourself posting with even more problems.

Hi guys, HELP! I am trying to fit a Digitrax DH165LO and Soundbug to an Austrains loco. It appears to be a Lifelike clone chassis, but I am wondering if I will be on a hiding to nothing about the job.
